Many moons ago a MAGA sister had just came back from a road trip to AZ with tales of some bizarre "monkeys" she'd seen a "herd" of at night north of the Mexico border near Tuscon. After asking a few questions I drew a quick sketch (pre-internet) of a coati and she confirmed that's what it was. I was envious someone with so little curiosity concerning the natural world was so fortunate to have seen them.
I was going to say something silly and cute but “Such is the case with tarantulas: after they capture the spiders, they roll them on the ground to remove the spider’s irritating hairs before consumption”
Now, I like nothing better than to sit down to a pile of blue crabs so I know I’m being silly, but…spiders.
The last year I trick or treated, I encountered some college guys with a coati in a cage in their apartment. I gazed upon it, and that was about it. No idea why they had it, or if that's legal, or what, but it was over fifty years ago anyway.
"After Trump’s Hitler Nazi dementia rant about Somalian immigrants, it was reported that the Trump Hitler Nazi regime is planning Hitler Nazi Gestapo ops against Somali immigrants in Minnesota, the vast majority of whom are American citizens."
How much of our tax dollars are going to legal fees, and when does someone from this dime-store Reich go to jail for their crimes?
UPDATE FROM THE ER: Bloodwoek didn’t reveal anything but (expectedly) high blood sugar. (I missed my meds last night.) Doctor believes it to be venous insufficiency as a complication from diabetes. Basically, the veins in legs are backed up and fluid has built up. So unless something changes in the next couple hours, I’ll have IV fluids, some insulin, and a diuretic (i already take spironolactone for testosterone suppression).
Am I still scared? Of freaking course. Do I hope and pray that this clears up fast? Abso-freaking-lutely.
My plan for the rest of the day, after I get out of here: I have to change buses at the mall anyway, so I’m gonna get some food. Might text my boss to see if she needs any help in the back room, as I’m completely out of uniform. And then home, where I will watch nonsense on YouTube and relax.
James O'Keefe is being asked to journalism? What, they ran out... I can't think of Sammy group or occupation of people I want to besmirch by comparing them to JO'K(E)
Someone from Wonkette (it could've been Ziggy, she's in Ohio now, right?) or maybe it was just a group vibe, communicated with me telepathically yesterday while I was at work: while I was scanning a customer's groceries, two bottles of clam juice rang up as "canned clams". I laughed out loud and the woman asked if she'd done something wrong. (She was bagging her items)
"No, just an inside joke". In my head of course I was saying ..
I wonder if devout "christian" Kristi Noem who now credits Trump with hurricane control is aware of this:
Baal, Canaanite god of fertility, WEATHER, and war.
Known by epithets like “rider of the clouds” and “Victorious Baal,” he was associated with rain, lightning, wind, fertility, and kingship...Worship of Baal spread ... The god was also known as "the mighty one", and "the one without equal" ("there is none above him")...The Hebrew Bible includes use of the term in reference to various Levantine deities, often with application towards Hadad, who was decried as a *false god*. In the Hebrew Bible, Baal appears frequently as a foreign or rival deity, with prophets like Elijah opposing his *cult*, while in early Israelite contexts, the title may have sometimes referred to Yahweh. Depiction as a *false god* was taken over into Christianity and Islam, sometimes under the form *Beelzebub* in demonology.
Aftyn Behn achieved something that should not have been possible in that district. She ran a stellar campaign. She did the hard work, grass-roots style. I just wish I could have voted for her. Alas, my wife-abusing, patient-impregnating, abortion-encouraging, and gun waving cretinous representative isn't going anywhere any time soon. Aftyn Behn, fuck yeah!
Okay, I get it, Cam. But what scoops are you getting? You do know that we'll hear everything from the DoD at some point without you? You do nothing.
And I bet a bunch of money he'll tell you he "earned" his place, even though he DIDN'T work for it, just because that's how those white boys are. Somehow women and POC are all DEI and woke, but if he just rolls into a spot, it's "earned".
Yes, it’s World Coati Day! What did Coati Claus leave under your tree?

Coati reminds me of our dog doing "silly head".
I stayed at a B&B in Sierra Vista AZ, and coatis would come onto the porch and sit with people. First time I saw them. Cool little beasties!
Found my coati, grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat

I do love a cute snoot! Very cute! ❣️

Somebody's gotta eat spiders. Circle of life.
Coati is foxy.....
Shouldn't this be on a coatiMonday?
The last year I trick or treated, I encountered some college guys with a coati in a cage in their apartment. I gazed upon it, and that was about it. No idea why they had it, or if that's legal, or what, but it was over fifty years ago anyway.
I, for one, welcome out new coati overlords.
The coati overlords are a heck of a lot smarter than the current ones in power.
A pet rock is a heck of a lot smarter than the current ones in power.
We’re sinking to the point where I’d welcome *any* overlord. Imagine being ruled by slugs, for example. Oh wait …
If I had a Coati, I'd name him Buffalo Bill
That’s *one* coat. Coati is obviously plural. Try not to put on airs with yer fancy talk.
Good morning, and thanks, as always, for the cute coat/coati/dog/whatever. ;-)
One coatis, two coati.

They're a wonderful thing, baby.

Wednesday is Coati day
I hope they have some fun play
But for the males who roam about
It's always Coatimundi.
May we all vote so voraciously next year that we wipe the floor with these Nazis, that we might all say, "there's your single digit, BITCH". Amen
The "conference may come unhinged?" Wrong tense, guy. The conference became unhinged a long time ago.

If Maddow and Colbert had a show that was just her making cocktails and explaining political situations to him, I would be so there for it.

In all fairness, JD banging on the table (per NYT) could have been his way of asking for a banana.
Huh, usually he’s banging on the couch.

No Cam Higby, the real question is “What does it say about the Pentagon?”

I thought Five Eyes was a burger joint.
I mean, fuck the five eyes though? Maybe we SHOULDN'T have governments spying on their own people. Crazy take, I know.
